Charge-trapping-associated threshold-voltage shift during electrical aging in OLEDs with electron-transport layers having a giant surface potential

Researchers investigated the degradation of OLEDs caused by charge trapping in electron-transport layers that exhibit a giant surface potential. The study links localized charge trapping to increased threshold voltage and delayed hole injection, offering insights for improving OLED longevity.
